  • Yainer Diaz has three hits, three RBI in win
    Yainer Diaz went 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

    Advice: All three of Diaz’s hits were singles, but one of them drove in a run and then he tacked on two more RBI with two sacrifice flies. It hasn’t quite been the breakout season that many expected for the catcher, but he is hitting .264/.292/.412 with 37 RBIs which is contributing more than enough for you from the catcher position.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Robert is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Detroit.

    Advice: White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday that it's a scheduled day off for Robert as the 26-year-old outfielder eases his way back from his IL stint due to a hip flexor strain, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Since returning from the injured list June 4, Robert is slashing .180/.275/.459 with five home runs and seven RBI over 61 at-bats. Tommy Pham will start in center field while Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets man the corners against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:37 am
     
  • Luis Robert Jr. not in Sunday’s lineup vs. Tigers
    Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the division-rival Tigers.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Robert, who has made nine consecutive starts for Chicago dating back to June 13. The 26-year-old is batting .180 (11-for-61) with five homers and two steals in 17 games since returning earlier this month from a lengthy stint on the injured list. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:05 am
     
  • Drives in five Saturday
    Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The 32-year-old slugger was hot from the jump, lofting a sacrifice fly in the first inning before crushing a two-run homer to left field off Scott McGough in the fifth and adding a two-run single in the sixth. Castellanos has shaken off his sluggish start to the campaign, and through 18 games in June he's slashing .270/.304/.554 with four homers, 10 runs and 13 RBI. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:47 am
     
  • Castellanos belts 11th home run in win Saturday
    Nick Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Castellanos’ home run was his 11th of the season and went so far he started removing his protective elbow pad before he even exited the batter’s box. In all, he had a sacrifice fly, two-run home run and two-run double. Castellanos has struggled this season with a .225 average and .672 OPS, but the Phillies lineup still provides opportunities to drive in runs as he now has 37 RBI on the year.

  • Tyler O’Neill not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Reds
    Tyler O’Neill is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: O’Neill gets a routine maintenance day with Wilyer Abreu back in right field on Saturday afternoon against the Reds. The 29-year-old has homered four times over his last seven games and should be back in there for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:41 am
     
  • Heading to bench Saturday
    O'Neill is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: O'Neill will hit the bench after going 0-for-7 with two walks over the Red Sox's previous two contests, but he's been excellent overall since making his return from a three-game absence due to a knee issue earlier this month, slashing .273/.342/.697 since June 12. Even though he finds himself as the odd man out of the Boston outfield Saturday while the team brings Wilyer Abreu (ankle) back from the injured list, O'Neill should continue to handle a near-everyday role for the Red Sox.

With this stretch, Arozarena has raised his average to .191 -- his highest mark since April 14. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:24 am
